About Managing as Code

Dashboards and views can be managed as infrastructure as code, allowing you to version control, automate deployment, and maintain consistency across environments. This approach enables code review for visualization changes, and collaborative dashboard development.

Available Tools

Dash0 provides three infrastructure as code tools for managing check rules:

• Dash0 Operator for Kubernetes - Define check rules as PrometheusRule custom resources.
• Dash0 Terraform Provider (on the Terraform and OpenTofu registries) - Manage check rules in Terraform configurations alongside other infrastructure.
• Dash0 CLI - Script check rule operations for batch deployments and automation.

All tools support creating, updating, and deleting check rules. The same approach applies to dashboards, views, and synthetic checks.
